Chris Szeluga records our first Hole-in-One of the year on #8 of the Buck with a 7 iron from 133 yds....Chris was celebrating with his "son" Wally Hawthorn. Chris will be 80 years old next month. It's his 2nd hole-in-one of his career.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES CLARIFICATIONS WHICH WERE ADOPTED AT OUR BOARD MEETING ON JUNE 17, 2021. THEY ARE ALSO POSTED IN THE SHANTY:
Rules, scoring clarification, and tournament information
I. Presidents cup
1. Qualifying round .
A. You must play your qualifying round from the white tees.
Whatever your handicap is from the white tees on the course that
is being played that week is the class (flight) that you will qualify
in, A,B,or C. If the course rotation that week includes the fawn
there could be a 2 or 3 stroke difference from Buck\Doe which
could place you in a different flight than expected. It is the
player’s responsibility to sign and play in the proper flight for the
rotation that week. This is the flight you will play the remaining
matches in regardless of changes in your handicap from week to
week.
B. Seniors during qualifying round ONLY: If you wish to play the
senior tournament that week but still want to qualify for the
Presidents Cup you must indicate this on the signup sheet. There
will be check boxes to accommodate this going forward. Play your
qualifying round from the white tees but you cannot claim a prize
if you also sign and play from the yellow tees that week. This is
the ONLY time you may need to sign twice during the season and
is only for the Presidents Cup Qualifying Round.
2. Subsequent Bracket Matches during The Presidents cup.
A. The remaining matches contested in the brackets for the duration
of the tournament may be played from any set of tees as long as
BOTH opponents agree upon it. If either of the players does not
wish to play from the yellow tees then the match must be played
from the whites.
B. Handicaps: For all remaining bracket matches after qualifying,
your handicap on the day the match is played is the one to be
used. This may be different than the handicap used for qualifying
since there are differences caused by the rotation of the nines. As
an example, if one player is a 14 and the other is a 16 then the 16
gets a stroke on the 2 hardest holes. In this case it would be the
number 1 handicap hole on the front and the number 1 on the
back.
II. Tie Breaker Scoring
1. Weekly Tournaments – Net scores. Winners for all individual
weekly handicapped tournaments that are tied will be determined
by a Match of Cards.
A. First tie breaker is back nine total minus your back nine
handicap. ( for example a 15 handicap gets 7 on the back and 8
on the front)
B. Second tie breaker is front nine total minus front nine
handicap.
C. Third tie breaker is best score on the hardest hole on the back
minus handicap.
D. Fourth Tie breaker is best score on the hardest hole on the
front minus handicap
E. If still tied continue alternating back then front hardest holes
minus handicap until a winner is found.
2. Scrambles – Gross Scores – Match of Cards
A. The same tie break procedure is used for scrambles except
that handicaps are NOT used in the totals or in the hole by
hole.
3. Club Championship and Presidents Cup – Sudden Death Playoff
A. For the Presidents Cup if a match is tied after 18 holes the
match must be determined by a sudden death playoff. Players
will go out and play one hole at a time until one of them wins a
hole and thus the match. Holes to be played will be
determined by availability on the course at the time as
determined by the course management. HANDICAP CANNOT
be used since it can’t be determined ahead of time which holes
will be used.
B. For the Club Championship
1. Gross Winner each flight - will be determined by a sudden
death playoff using the same procedure as in the Presidents
cup as it is written above.
2. Net Winner each flight – will be determined by a Match of
Cards using the same procedure as the weekly tournaments
net scores as it is written above.
III. Modified “Winter” Rules
1. Even though the course is in great condition we will continue to
use relief for badly maintained or damaged areas of the fairways.
A. You may lift, clean, and replace your ball IN YOUR OWN
FAIRWAY AND FRINGES OF THE GREENS ONLY one club
length no closer to the hole.
1. You MAY NOT improve your lie so as to be on the
green if you are off. Closest point of relief no nearer
the hole that is still in the fringe or collar.
IV. Ground under repair
1. There are several bunkers on each nine that have gone
unmaintained. These are to be considered ground under repair.
Many of the signs have gone missing. The club will work with
maintenance to obtain some marker stakes which we will paint
GREEN. Any area designated by these markers will be considered
to be ground under repair. Relief from these areas is defined as
the CLOSEST point of relief no nearer the hole. This may require
you to drop the ball behind the area OR possibly to the left or
right of where your ball came to rest depending on where you can
get complete relief.
2. The club will also attempt to keep a list of these areas posted in
the shanty.
V. Club Championship participation August 7 th and 8 th .
1. July 30 th is the deadline to sign up for the Club Championship. If
you prepaid with your dues you are already in. The club will
publish a list showing who is in and will also ask members to
